MicroStrategy Shares Plunge 44%—And That’s Not #Bitcoin’s Only Challenge for 2025

👇1-15) On October 7, we highlighted MicroStrategy’s breakout as its share price climbed above $177. However, in recent weeks, we have stressed the company’s overvaluation. Rather than serving as a true leveraged play on Bitcoin, investors have been significantly overpaying for indirect Bitcoin exposure.

👇2-15) The stock’s underperformance, despite substantial Bitcoin acquisitions, indicates that investors are no longer willing to pay an implied price of $200,000 (or more) per Bitcoin through MicroStrategy when it can be purchased directly at a much lower cost.

The shift underscores a growing rationality among investors who previously bought into the unofficial narrative of MicroStrategy as "a leveraged Bitcoin play."

👇3-15) There’s no denying that BlackRock’s Larry Fink and MicroStrategy’s Michael Saylor have been pivotal figures in shaping the narrative of this bull market, driving significant interest in Bitcoin.

Combined with other factors - as we explain below, Bitcoin enters the New Year on a cautious note, with liquidity, trading volumes, and stablecoin issuance momentum playing critical roles in determining its direction.
